they have posted a new video up on their site and engadget has posted a video proving it is the geniune unlock software.

Only thing is, you have to by from resellers, not from them directly ( helps them avoid the AT &T lawyer squad!)

iphonesimfree does list some resellers on their site, but if you are interested, don't buy it from the american reseller. The greedy *bleep* is charging $99 whereas others are charging $50..so makes sense to buy it from them

How the process works is simple.. you pay the reseller.. they take your IMEI number, and send it to iphonesimfree..then the reseller will send you a link to an application, which you download to your iphone via wifi..it will appear on your main screen..run it and viola..unlock!

And yea, it is the geniune thing. Well seems like it anyway

One of the biggest resellers is trash over at the hacint0sh forums and iphonesimfree gave him the first 50 licences already. Once we hear from them all, it should be further proof its a geniune thing

They dont guarentee it will work in future iphone firemware upgrades, but so far upto 1.02 it works

turbosims are sold out and go for hundreds in ebay, the hardware unlock is risky and one guy managed to literally blow up his iPhone! ( Who says iPhones aren't the most explosive gadgets ever?!)

there is another method, hyper-sim but it costs $120 at hyper-cards.com

software unlock at $50..hmm, this is great since i'm in UK and i want to use my o2 sim

I'm going to wait a few more days and see what happens

Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing - Solid Snake.

Actually, the software unlocks by iPhoneSIMfree work in such a way that updates can't lock them up permanently. You run the update, the phone gets locked, and then you run the utility again to unlock it.

Apple would have to really change the firmware to disable the unlock, but then they risk accessories no longer working. To be honest, it's only AT&T that really cares and since the contract between the two companies has already been signed, I don't see Apple getting too bent out of shape by an unlock. In fact, it was the AT&T lawyers that tried to stop iPhoneSIMfree from releasing its software, not Apple.

does this mean that if they release an update, and you do update your phone.. do you get to keep the current OS as well as keeping it unlocked? or do you have to revert back to the old firmware?
